Chapter 1038: Tenth Anniversary
Lu Miao touched the two little ones' heads and said with a gentle smile:
"Brother Shi An's tenth birthday will be on the 12th, so your birthdays can be moved up a few days so we can celebrate together."
"All right!"
In the past few years, the three siblings have basically celebrated their birthdays together, and Mingyi and Mingxia have long been accustomed to it.
The three children gathered together and walked quickly in front, whispering to each other.
It seems that everyone has their own ideas.
Seeing the doting look in Lu Miao's eyes, he couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
Since she brought up this matter, she should respect the children's ideas and let them discuss and arrange it themselves.
Just as I was thinking about it, the three children in front turned around together.
Shi An said with anticipation:
"Auntie, I have some money in my piggy bank. I want you and uncle to buy me a case of soda on my birthday. Is that okay?"
Ming Yi and Ming Xia jumped up and raised their hands, their eyes sparkling as they said:
"Mom, I have money too. I want to buy White Rabbit candy!"
Mingyi also raised his hand and said:
"And me, Mom! My sister bought some candy, so I'll buy some colored paper and make little boxes to put her candy in!"
The three children were each assigned their own place.
Lu Miao smiled and nodded, then took the three children and walked back:
"Okay, no problem. Let's make a list when we get back!"
"Um!"
The three children jumped for joy and laughed, then hooked their arms around each other's shoulders and ran to the front, murmuring.
"I want to call Sister Panpan over!"
"Then I'll call Xu Weidong and the others. Brother Shi An and Brother Yun Ge are in the same class with you. Do you want to call him?"
Shi An thought for a while and said:
"Shout, my sister likes to play with him."
"oh!"
Mingyi nodded, counted carefully on his fingers and said:
"There are only twelve bottles in a box of soda, and Mom wants some too, so it definitely won't be enough. I have some money left over for buying colored paper. I'll go back and ask Mom to buy another box!"
Shi An wanted to say that he would definitely have some money left after buying a box of soda, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded and said "OK".
That night, just as Lu Miao finished taking a shower and drying his hair and was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door of the small living room outside.
Lu Miao applied lotion and looked at Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou understood and went to open the door, and soon he came back with Shi An.
Seeing that it was Shi An, Lu Miao sat up straight and patted the side of the bed:
"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping so late?"
Shi An didn't sit down, he took out the money he had saved and said:
"Auntie, when you and uncle buy me soda, can you buy me two more gifts?"
Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou looked at each other and saw understanding in each other's eyes.
"What do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a box of watercolors for Dabao and a pencil sharpener for my sister. Is this enough, Auntie?"
There was a huge handful of small banknotes.
Lu Miao took it and counted it as if to respond, then said with a smile:
"Just enough!"
Shi An believed it and a bright smile appeared on his face:
"Okay, Auntie, don't forget to buy me one! I want a pencil sharpener with a small square box and a hand crank. My sister likes the green one!"
"Okay, Auntie will remember this. Go back to bed now. It's so late. Be careful not to grow taller in the future!"
The little boy showed his little white teeth, smiled brightly, and ran away skipping.
A child who grows up with love will never be too bad.
The family treats the young and the old equally in education, and the same goes for "love".
Shi An is no longer the fearful and introverted little kid he used to be.
He has a cheerful personality and is confident in his studies.
He is the cherished baby of his family, a good student in the eyes of his teachers, the child of other people's families in the eyes of his neighbors, and also his happy self.
Lu Miao laughed and nodded at the banknotes, which were exactly eight dollars.
During the New Year holidays, she either recorded the large red envelopes given to her children and invested them in their respective accounts or kept them separately.
These were all saved from Shi An's daily pocket money of 50 cents and 50 cents.
Lu Miao sighed and said:
"Where can I find such a good brother?"
Fu Jingyou chuckled softly and was about to speak when the door to the outer hall was knocked again.
Lu Miao wondered:
"What did I just say?"
How would Fu Jingyou know? He could only go open the door again.
This time, they brought back twin brothers and sisters.
Just like when Shi An came over just now, the two kids came in and took out money.
"Mom, this is what I saved up. I need 20 sheets of colored paper and a case of soda! Shi An said soda costs 15 cents per bottle, but only 1.44 yuan per case! I have some money left over, so you can buy me a pencil sharpener!"
Mingyi thought for a moment and emphasized:
"I want the green one with the little hand-cranked box!"
When Lu Miao heard this, he subconsciously looked at Ming Xia next to him and asked Ming Yi:
"For my sister?"
I also want a green hand-crank pencil sharpener. Wouldn’t that make it too heavy?
Just as Lu Miao was beginning to have concerns, Ming Yi shook his head and said:
"No, it's a birthday present for Shi An-ge!"
Ming Xia nodded in agreement and raised his money as well:
"And me, Mom, I want two kilograms of White Rabbit, and the rest of the money will be used to buy erasers for Brother Shi An."
This is really...
Lu Miao turned around and looked at Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou took the money from the two children and said:
"Got it, go back to sleep."
Mingyi and Mingxia laughed and ran away hand in hand.
Fu Jingyou sat next to him counting his son and daughter's money, and Lu Miao watched him.
Lu Miao always felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered:
"Oh my! Shi An is thinking about his siblings, and they are thinking about Shi An too. But did the twins miss each other? Will they make a scene then?"
Fu Jingyou paused for a moment and then reacted.
It really is...
But soon, Fu Jingyou said:
"Don't take it too seriously. Maybe he just didn't react for a moment. Let's buy an extra portion tomorrow and make up for that one."
Lu Miao nodded.
There's nothing else to do.
The things the children wanted were scattered and few in number, so when Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou went out to buy them, they directly brought home 20 kilograms of milk candy and 20 cartons of soda.
The same goes for colored oil paper. The family needs to pack up some things occasionally, and since these things won’t spoil, Lu Miao directly moved a box home.
In addition, Lu Miao bought three more safes.
There is a safe on the second floor that was moved from Qingta Hutong, which is usually used to store company documents.
Now we have added another one to store personal valuables.
Lu Miao also placed one in Lu Yuanzheng's study and Tang Mei's room. She taught Tang Mei how to use it and told her to put valuable things in it.
When there are many people in the family, there are many things to do.
Just in case, please take care of yourself if you can.
Tang Mei understands this principle.
Lu Miao was shopping like he was bringing in goods, moving boxes and boxes of things into the yard, so she couldn't help but have something to say.
Lu Miao also has a way to deal with it:
"Some of the people coming to the banquet are definitely driving. It's hard to persuade them to drink. A soda would be perfect for them then."
The three older children sat around the coffee table in the living room. Shi An was in charge of cutting paper, while Ming Yi and Ming Xia were in charge of tying small packages.
